[en]Hello my beloved followers, i’m writing from my wonderful hotel room in San Francisco. I wish i could stay here forever… We arrived in LA three days ago and stayed there for one day but i didn’t have much time to take some shots which will have to wait until i go back there before leaving.

These photos were taken on our way from LA to San Francisco. The first ones near Malibù and the other ones in Carmel-by-the-sea. Carmel has a beautiful beach but when we arrived there was sooo much fog, we barely could find it! Yesterday night we stopped at Monterey and had dinner in a beautiful restaurant near Fishermen’s Wharf which had a beautiful selection of sea food.

I bought the trench and the shirt you see here in LA together with many other items you’ll see in the next few posts. However shopping here was a bit disappointing cause i was hoping to find more peculiar things. We’ll see if i can find better in the next days. If you know any shop to suggest me in LA o SF, please do! :)

Next time you’ll hear from I hope to have some beautiful pictures of San Francisco. By the way, today it’s one year with my love and i just want to say him “I love you, thank you for this amazing year together!”.
Hugs and kisses![/en]

I live in LA and have been to SF more than 20 times. The best places to shop in LA are Jet Rag (vintage store), Ron Herman (high-end boutique), A.sweeT. (boutique and candy store), and any of the shops on Rodeo Drive or Melrose Place. The best mall in Southern California is South Coast Plaza without a doubt, which is in Costa Mesa (about 45 minutes away from LA). In San Francisco, the best places to shop are the Westfield Mall (also called San Francisco Centre), Union Square, and the shops on Chestnut Street (a mix of outlets and regular stores). LA is definitely the better place to find cool clothes though! I hope this helps and I LOVE your blog!!

I deifinitely love those pics! U r so beautiful and ur outfit perfectly embodies Cali!!
I love SF, I’ve been there so many times. U should go to the Hippie hood, Haight-Ashbury: despite its history, right now there are lots of beautiful kinda-expensive hippie-chic shops! And there’s such an amazing mall if you go in the direction of the Caltrain station, with Union Square behind you, walking in the street where u can find also Urban Outfitters. U should arrive to another main street crossing the one in which u r. U should find also the historical buses Powell-Mason stop. After that u should find it in front of you.
And if u have the chance to move from SF, take the Caltrain direction San Josè and stop there: u can’t miss Santana’s Raw. It’s a huge street with thousands of shops(big brands but also cheaper ones), restaurants, cafè and whatever u want! That’s definitely a place u should see!!
Hope u’re having fun :)
